N the reaction 2Cu2O(s) → 4Cu(s) + O2(g) how does the oxidation number of the copper atoms change

Chemistry
1 answer:
Usimov [2.4K]3 years ago
8 0

Answer: The oxidation number of Cu decreased

Explanation: In Cu2O equation Cu has an oxidation number of

Cu+1 O-2

then in the product side Cu is represented as a single element.

The rule on oxidation number for an individual element is always O

So Cu has 0 oxidation number.

Water sits in an open beaker. assuming constant temperature and pressure, the vapor pressure of the water ______________ as the
user100 [1]

For a given system, vapor pressure can be defined as the pressure exerted by the vapor phase in equilibrium with the condensed phase.

In this case, as water sits in an open beaker it tends to evaporate thereby forming water vapor. This vapor phase then exerts a pressure over the liquid water, which is termed as the vapor pressure of water at that temperature and pressure. As water continues to evaporate, more and more molecules escape into the vapor phase which thereby increases the vapor pressure.

Ans: The vapor pressure of water increases as the water evaporates.

lozanna [386]

Answer:

Water moves into the cell

Explanation:

As shown in the question above, the cell is high in glucose and placed in a glass filled with water. This cell has a semi permeable membrane that allows only water to pass through, as the concentration of water within the cell is low, the cell will attempt to strike a balance with the medium it is inserted into. For this reason, what is likely to happen is the passage of water from the most concentrated to the least concentrated medium, that is, the water will pass from the cup to the cell.

water moves into the cell through osmosis.during osmosis water moves from a region of low concentration of solute to a region of high concentration of solute.the glucose introduced into the cell makes it more concentrated.

In this case the cell is hypertonic and water would enter into the cell through the semi permeable membrane.this membrane allows water to pass through but not glucose.this movement of water into the cell causes the cell to become turgid.

Why do we experience the changing of the seasons on earth
iren2701 [21]

<u>Answer:</u>

Earth's axis and position around the sun.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Earth's tilted axis causes the seasons to change. Throughout the year, different parts of Earth acquire the Sun's most direct rays(Or heat) because of the orbital rotation of Earth. So, when the North Pole tilts toward the Sun, it's summer inside the Northern Hemisphere. And whilst the South Pole tilts towards the Sun, it is winter within the Northern Hemisphere and vise versa.
